What is HIFU?

HIFU stands for high-intensity focused ultrasound. This is a fairly new cosmetic treatment, which offers effective skin tightening. HIFU is a painless and non-invasive alternative to facelifts. With this treatment, the production of collagen is encouraged through the use of ultrasound energy. This results in skin that is a lot firmer. You will be able to get that youthful, radiant, and slim-looking face you dream about without having to go under the knife.

HIFU

What does the treatment involve?

HIFU is a non-invasive treatment, making it the perfect solution for anyone who does not want to go under the knife. This treatment is also effective for people who have had invasive cosmetic surgery and they want to rejuvenate its effects after a bit of time has been and gone. HIFU procedures involve using ultrasound so that the production of collagen is kickstarted. Collagen is the structural protein in the skin that helps with healing, skin rejuvenation, and adding elasticity. This means that HIFU will prompt firming up areas that are problematic and show signs of sagging and ageing.

The HIFU Treatment

The procedure is pretty straightforward and as it is delivered by highly knowledgeable and experienced clinicians, we are sure you will be delighted with the results. After your treatment is completed, we can also schedule you in for your next treatment should you need another one.
Here’s what you should expect from your appointment:

Your specialist will clean the target area.
A topical anaesthetic cream will be applied before the procedure begins.
The practitioner will then apply an ultrasound gel.
The HIFU device is placed against the skin.
The person carrying out the treatment will then adjust the device to the correct setting.
Ultrasound energy will then be delivered to the target area in short pulses for anything between 30 and 90 minutes.
The device is removed.

Does it hurt?

While everyone experiences different levels of pain, you may feel some discomfort and needle stick pain.
Are there any side effects?

There may be some swelling or bruising for a few days. The results commonly improve over time, as the swelling subsides, and the filler settles more naturally – this process often takes up to 2 weeks.
Am I suitable for Fillers treatment?

This treatment is not suitable for anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding or has severe allergic reactions
Fillers Aftercare?

The following may assist with recovery and results: Following the instructions provided by our specialists before and after your treatment Stay upright following your treatment for 3-4 hours Avoid sleeping for 3-4 hours after the treatment (to avoid pressing the treated area) Take arnica supplements and apply arnica cream Avoid strenuous exercise following the treatment Limit your sun exposure Apply a cold compress to the treated area Avoid facial treatments or other treatments on the area Should you experience any symptoms, notify us so we can best assist you. To maintain the effect of your treatment, you will require further follow ups.
When will I see results?

Most patients will notice immediate results following their filler treatment. However, note that it can take 7-10 days to notice the final results, which is when any potential bruising, swelling or redness subsides.
How long do the results last?

This will depend on your own metabolism. Some people will break down the fillers more quickly than others. A general rule of thumb is that fillers typically last longer in the areas that move the least – such as cheeks, in comparison to lips, which may last a little less time. To maintain the effectiveness of your Fillers treatment, you will require further follow-ups, but you can expect your cheek fillers to last for 6 months and more.
What are the benefits of Fillers?

Quick – most treatments take approximately 30 minutes to perform. Faster and more effective than creams – the treatment results are much faster than those achieved when using skincare. Long-lasting results – whilst long-lasting, most fillers are not permanent and are reversible. Natural Results – in the hands of the right, medically trained, artistic hands, such is the team selected to work at Euphoria Medical Center©, the results can be very natural and complement your own natural beauty.
